Cross End

Born and raised in a small village called Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia, Leith Ben Ammar was fascinated by music very early in his life. He played guitar in his early teens and started DJing as a teenager by playing hip-hop and R’n’B at his friend's high school parties. His passion for electronic music started in 2005 when he moved to London, where he spent all his free time between Phonica, The End and his favorite nightclub, The Cross. That period shaped his taste and he grew a liking for complex and melodic music.He started his career as a resident DJ at Jimmys in London and created a few years later the infamous HYPE parties in Tunisia, were he still plays on a regular basis. In the last few years, he played alongside the likes of Dixon, Tale of Us, Gui Boratto, Hernan Cattaneo, Art Department, Jaime Jones, Lee Foss, dOp and Visionquest.As of 2014, he's been co-hosting Radio of Residents, a radio show which showcases the talents of resident DJs around the world, on medelina beats and he has released his first production on heavyweight Cologne Techno label, Traum.
